I stumbled onto Q in January, 2018 because I kept seeing references to Q in the Conservative Treehouse comments section. Can't even remember how I found CTH. One of the first big "proofs" for me in real time was the John Perry Barlow thing. I didn't know who he was on January 27 when Q posted his name in the "NOBODY is safe" post 628, so I looked him up. A couple of weeks later he was dead. At the time I thought "Maybe this Q person knew he was sick." But I also thought picking someone like Barlow as relevant to the deep state issues being discussed would require a pretty wild imagination. There was something about his random relevance and the fact that truth is stranger than fiction that grabbed me.
Fast forward and I am older and maybe just a wee bit wiser. My entire world view has been flipped upside down. I have spent a significant percentage of my adult life reading and researching and listening to podcasts, and the only thing I know for sure is that I don't know the half of it. Carry On Digital Soldiers! Just wanted to share. When did you find Q?
It's weird how fast the last few years have gone.
But you know that happens as you age...and as we speak we are all aging... My journey has been since the late 70's-early 80's and frankly I feel some battle fatigue. There were so many things that were wrong back then...it was wonderful when Q started exposing even more corruption...so many videos, articles, sleepless nights as I tried to take in as much as I could. I am most concerned about the world that my children and grandchildren are left with. At this point in time, I recognize that the only true justice will be when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. After all is said and done He alone is our hope and our salvation. If you can pass that to your progeny, you do well, as that is the MOST important truth in the universe. This has been an exciting journey, but sometimes I grow weary. It is wonderful to have like minded Patriots that can share the joys as well as the burdens. I know not what tomorrow holds...but I know who holds tomorrow...
A quote I like (seen at Hobby Lobby): "I trust the next chapter because I know the Author."
Nice...I will have to use that!!
I was awakened by the announcement of the Waco Massacre, I just couldn't imagine how or Why it was happening....
The only thing that ran thru my mind for about a week straight is that the Clintons, and those connected to them were insane and just plain Evil....
And ever since that, I stopped trusting Govt, Politicians, Doctors, and a whole bunch of others....
Eyes wide open, I see this world for the mess it has become, and I see that WE the Public, are the only ones to blame, for WE ALLOWED it all to happen....
It really is. I try to think about other things going on at the time and it surprises me still how long and how short the time is, simultaneously.
Do you ever try to talk about this stuff IRL and if so how does that go?
I found Q sometime shortly after the 2020 election. The way the media acted all that year concerning the riots, election and virus probably made me more open to this type of stuff though. And then a rap song of all things led me to the Tom Hanks stuff, I think that was what led to Q specifically but not 100% sure.
I do. But carefully select my audience and tailor the discussion accordingly to be honest. My mom, husband, sister and brother in law are all in. About three good friends that don't think I'm "crazy" for following, but have been date fagged into disbelief in Q specifically. They are all in on the deep state, central bank, blackmail and bribery general theme, including the trafficking stuff. It's like they kept the message but killed the messenger, which probably is okay. Slings and arrows and such.
For the broader audience I usually go slower, like "Don't believe everything you read or hear about Ukraine. There's a lot of money involved, and propaganda is a real thing." I feel like I am constantly laying a foundation and then building on it. Talking about corruption and bribery is in my experience is the first layer of the foundation. It is easily understood and someone can accept the concept without feeling they will shamed or humiliated for being "crazy." As I am typing I am thinking about how you can only give a starving person a little bit of food at a time or they will throw it right up.
The boldest Q conversation I had with the normiest of normies, was when my husband and I were visiting friends we have known for decades - husband's childhood friend and his wife. Their daughter in law was a big Q person and they were talking about how over the top she was, etc. I could imagine her earnestness but kept thinking, "know your audience sweetheart." She jumped right into the pedophilia stuff and they immediately thought she was nuts. So I said, "I am sort of a Q person too. I haven't looked into that part of it so much yet, but the FISA abuse information and predictions about North Korea are really pretty mind boggling." It softened the resistance significantly. Partly because I am older, and probably because I have known them for so long. But mostly because I fed them something they weren't going to feel "weird" about listening to.
After about an hour I said, "It wouldn't surprise me if politicians were being blackmailed with horrific things like pedophilia though. "Inhaling" or extra marital affairs really aren't that big of a deal anymore." They both nodded.
Hey that's certainly better than nothing, a LOT better.
Yeah you gotta fight that urge to come out with the craziest/most important/most mind-blowing stuff. Thankfully though, like you said, there's a lot of Q stuff that's mind-blowing without getting into the pedophilia cannibal world leaders.
I take a similar approach to what you mentioned, I pretend that I'm just starting to consider some things myself. Like "I just learned a few days ago, and you can even check this on the internet...(insert thing here)..." and I'd say more often then not the reaction is at least something about how the media or history books lied to us about said thing. And of course you can use that to lead into the people who run the media, how it's all the same few people and what their agenda is.
I have noticed that probably the toughest thing is trying to cure a person afflicted with TDS.
This, don't start off with the pedo and adrenochrome shit that scares people away immediately. Ease in with economics and fraud and what not.
This is the way.
A Stickie! Might be my first. Thanks Mods!
Great post.
I found The Donald and after that the GreatAwakening with info regarding Q in 2020. So I am a Q youngster.
But before that I found my first mean rabbit hole in 2010.
Edit: In late Summer of 2020 I was dooming very hard due to my researches since the beginning of the year. Somewhere under a YT video a link to TheDonald was posted and I followed. Without (this help from above) I would have been seriously in danger of falling into an abyss, because NO clear thinking being was around me to speak or write with, protests in Germany were heavily beaten down and hard censorship in social media went crazy.
(Thanks for the heavenly guidance so I could keep my sanity. ThanQ to all of you!!!)
It does feel divinely inspired to me as well. Thank you back at ya.
Yes! There is always a helping hand from above, sometimes very, very late, but always in time! :-)
That's me too. Once I found GAW I rarely went back to thedonald
So nice to meet the fledglings. Well, fledgling no more, obviously.
Heavenly guidance is key and integral to the Great Awakening. Hopefully more and more will realize this.
If the plandemic lockdowns had any silver lining, it was that when I was WFH, I was able to break out of my everyday routine, and start researching. My awakening happened during the spring of 2020, before the elections, but I've known something wasn't right since 9/11. During lockdown, after getting bored with Netflix (2 years since canceled) I just happened to click on a Liberal Hivemind podcast on YT, which led to Monkeywerx, Salty Cracker, TD.win/P.win. So much hate was being flung around on TD.win for "those stupid Q-tards," I decided to see what that Q was all about. I lurked for a long time here before joining. It's now over 2 years later, and I've been mingling with and learning from you frens ever since. TY.
HA! I love the COVID lockdown boomerang part of this story!
Same thing I was working from home and had my personal computer next to my work laptop so I could have streams going all day when I wasn't in meetings and spent every break looking things up.
I had heard whisperings but when I saw the soccer ball moment I went looking for Q to see what it was all about.
It was years later when I found this board after Voat shut down. The early years were lonely. I kept listening to various Q commentators and sorting through who was good and who wasn't and figuring things out for myself mostly. I am so glad I found this site!!
bruh im a voat veteran my self i remember the years... ugh miss that site
I miss Voat. It was where the cool kids hung out. Not everyone made the transition to here.
True.
But I remember when there was an exodus over to Voat from r/GreatAwakening.
The shutdown of r/ga was like a krystalnacht situation. They burned us to the ground. That generated the great Q patriot diaspora, and only a small remnant actually made it over to voat. Then, a smaller remnant over to GAW. But here, we are growing.
I wonder how many of the diaspora really know about GAW. I think we're actually a pretty small number, compared with how big a wide the Great Awakening has grown, on multiple platforms.
r/ga and the CBTS subreddit were a lifeline. You are so right. I remember feeling totally lost. IIRC CBTS was first, then r/ga, then Voat?
Yes, that's the correct sequence.
I was there, too, for it all! I remember when r/T_D was less than 10K. The r/ga days were golden times… then we all went to Voat, then telegram, then here. I like going to conspiracy.win as well, and still go to 8kun Qresearch & /pol/.
I miss the early r/ga days.
The first day he posted to the Chans.
Anons before him like FBIAnon, SenateAnon & previous primed the truth community of which I had been apart of since OKC Bombing & WACO. 9/11 was the event that grew the once fringe groups online into mainstream. I think it gave assurance to WH/Trump it was go time soon.
Then 2015 hit & the community solidified into The_Donald.
Gavin Newsom red-pilled me.
I had read about this Q thing; likely on The Donald. I didn't give it much thought. (just some "conspiracy theory") In April 2020, somehow I saw a few tweets from someone regarding Gavin Newsom's Twitter page. They were busy going down the rabbit hole investigating it.
https://archive.is/ADzRN
Notice the weird hand directly above Newsom's wife. This appears to be photoshopped in.
Notice that the finger has a weird spiral to it. The forefinger doesn't have that many joints in it. That spiral triangle is a pedo symbol. https://archive.org/details/fbi-pedophile-symbols
That is a left hand. If you have the mental gymnastics or just use your own left hand; try to figure out if you could be sitting in the stands with your hand in that orientation. You can't. You'd have to be facing backwards in the stands.
A few days later after lots of people saw this, the Twitter background was changed. Still, I started going down multiple rabbit holes.

It’s scary how quick the time goes. I started exploring rabbit holes in 2007 and have been digging ever since
Sometimes I wonder how many hours I have into this. Definitely more than any other formal education. Because it's so much more interesting. And important.
Absolutely agree. I’ve learned so much while digging.
I was a critic of Q for years because my first exposure was to people saying JFK Junior was alive, and Hillary and Obama were involved in child trafficking and would be thrown in Guantanamo.
That was just too much too soon. Normies are sensitive to advanced info up front like Guantanamo. Red-pilling must happen in phases, starting with less outlandish information like FISA gate.
The event that shook me out of normie thinking was Republicans collaborating with Dems to overthrow our government through the 2020 election theft. That's when I realized our entire system was fake. Then the US military locked down DC, which shouldn't happen in any country unless there's an ongoing coup or a war.
The lesson learned from that: If someone is not being methodically red-pilled, they still have a trigger to wake them up based on their sensitivities. Everyone's trigger is different, like covid or vaccine mandates.
This is why every cabal crime has a silver lining. Each crime is unplugging someone from the matrix.
Exactly, when somebody starts with the Adrenochrome I wonder if they're stupid but well meaning but if they start with JFK Junior coming back I treat them as a glowie.
I've got a friend who's always frustrated that he can't awaken anyone, well it's because he not only starts with the pedo stuff but he's a flat earther as well and doesn't keep that to himself so it ends up being as effective as if I started the conversation by ranting about Israel (gotta save that for last.)
Same, I consider the JFK Junior stuff as glowie talk. I originally called it disinfo in my comment, but edited it because I really don't feel like getting into that with people despite Q saying he's dead.
I know smart conservatives who would rather be persuaded to join the circus than read Q posts. Those are the ones I'm trying to develop a strategy for. You have to account for their mental roadblocks, which often involves fear of how their spouses and peers would judge them.
"rather be persuaded to join the circus than read Q posts" That is so funny because it's so true.
I've been redpilled since Hillary did the whole email server "like with a cloth?" thing and wasn't prosecuted for it. I think that is actually pre-Q...Sundance at CTH was my primary info pipeline at that time. Voat too.
Well I wasn't very interested in politics, but this fucking freaked me out.
https://files.catbox.moe/y2c9ke.jpg
That nobody was saying anything about the blatant cheating. It was right there. No reporters picked up on it.
Then the Podesta emails.
That was a rabbit hole- obviously nothing is as it seems.
For me, the firetruck 'Q74' was the future proof that convinced me that Q was legit. That an the no-name hands up 30 day delta. That was epic.
I got called qanon before I knew what it was lol, so I searched it and ended up on this site.
OMG that's hilarious. Maybe you ARE Q and you just don't know it LOL.
I believed kappy, 9/11 was inside job, and haaaate the fed/banks.
I though qanon was just a ploy to make freethinkers look bad. Like the term conspiracy theorist.
But boy was I wrong. Sort of. Lol
"We are all Q"
Being a Grateful Dead fan and a Q follower since day one this was two world’s collliding. John Perry Barlow was a lyricist for the Dead.
November 2017, Some anon accts on Instagram kept referring to "drops", and 8 chan, before the great Q purge on Instagram took them all out. I followed someone who was excellent at time stamp, mirror, delta analysis and i was hooked. I've always been a "conspiracy theorist", my nickname at work for years was "black helicopter". I grew up in Vegas listening to Art Bell, my dad was a "tax rebel", so I've always had a skewed eye towards government and unseen happenings and subterfuge. I found GAW January 2021 after the inauguration and my hopes were crushed and expectations were upended, I felt lost. GAW and X22 was like rehab, and thank God those things existed or Id be a hot ass mess right now, watching my country circle the drain.
From reddit Q page that surpassed 100k followers very quickly then disappeared, to pizzagate subreddit, to voat, the chans then here.
Similar path! CBTS disappeared and I felt the ground fall out from underneath me LOL. Can't remember how I found VOAT.
r/ CBTS was shutdown but quickly re-emerged as r/ GreatAwakening.
100k subscribers, but Q indicated that the real numbers were much higher.
After a very short few weeks of chaos, I found my way to Voat, then here when voat shuttered on Christmas Day (2019?)
I first became interested in Q at the beginning of the pandemic. I knew about him, vaguely, because two of my cousins were always talking about him at family gatherings.
But at the beginning of the pandemic, a couple of the private conservative Facebook groups I used to go to were suddenly full of people talking about Q.
Of course, they were saying that the 10 Days of Darkness was going to begin with Tom Hanks being arrested and all the internet and power being shut off beginning on April 1, 2020. Easy day to remember.
So I started looking into it and became interested in how so much of what Q was saying was coming true.
Not the April 1 thing, obviously. I quickly learned to ignore datefagging, and to this day get irritated with my cousins (some of the biggest datefaggers ever) because they are loud and obnoxious about it around our family, who love to mock us every time something doesn't come to pass.
I found this forum right after the January 6th thing. And here we are.
I started with FBI Anon which led me to Q. I saw the transfers on Treasury.gov in July of 2015.
FBI Anon was fascinating. Someone reposted him a year or two ago and it was just as fascinating to read again.
I was never totally sucked into the Matrix to begin with. However, the turning point for me was when Trump ran in 2016, and the establishment hated him. They went after him bigly, which is what made me take him seriously. Also Hillary and her emails. Globos who read this: It is downright stupid to go after someone like that. It tips your hand. Also, the search engines and the internet in general were not really censored until after the election, so everything about pizzagate was lying around for all to see.
I learned about Q during Trump's presidency, but I was so disenfranchised about politics and power that I didn't care. My father and his brother (my uncle) would discuss and share Q information, and I remember being curious, but mainly worried. I trusted my father was careful with information, but Q seemed so outlandish and uncertain to me at the time, so I never spoke with him about it. Fast forward a couple years, and I gave my life to Christ. After being humbled and bowing before The King, I was open to anything. My view on truth and knowledge was revamped, and I was looking for answers to our current situation of corruption and suffering. The Bible helped me have peace with it all, but I still saw a need to understand, in case there was anything I could do. So I talked with my father about Q, and I realized that, while my hesitance was wise, I should have investigated. I missed out on all the main event with Q, and didn't follow until after Biden was elected.
These past few years have been QUITE the roller coaster, as I'm sure you all would agree...
It was December 2017. I’m Polish, living in London, UK. Over the weekend I sometimes listened to a small online Internet TV. One Polish guy living in the US has join the program and said: There is something interesting that people follow here. Maybe there’s something to it, maybe not, have a look and see what you think.
I googled. At that time there was no Google ban for Q and not much diluted content from MSM on the top of the search results, so I found it quick.
Nothing special during the first weekend.
I forgot to check the next week.
2 weeks later something looked weird.
3 weeks later I knew I will be checking often. Got my first Q proof.
I stopped counting after 20 proofs.
When I saw “stroll” proof, I laughed. I saw it happening live. I reviewed the Q board, saw the word, then looked at the Trump’s twitter, nothing special, but shortly after I saw Trump twitting “Morning stroll is refreshing”. I laughed.
When NoName has been executed I said to my wife: Sounds like a Time Machine? How did they know? There is a way how one can “predict” someone else’s death, 30 days in advance, up to 1 minute. It’s called: death sentence. They tell you: you’re guilty. Then they tell you the exact date and time when you will be executed. There is no way to speed it up and there is no way to avoid or delay it. That was one of the most powerful Q proofs for me. I alway get goosebumps when talking about it, even now.
I had a "Neo" moment when I started to notice things just weren't as they seemed. My boss at the time totally red pilled me, then turned me on to X22, and it just snowballed from there, just over four years ago.
I had that realization. I voted for Trump in the 2016 primary; mostly because I didn't want Cruz. (I'm a Texan.) I voted for whatever Libertarian candidate there was as a protest vote in the general election.
The MSM was blasting Trump left right and sideways. Congress was after him. (likely had already started with the first impeachment) Yet, if you ignored all of that, things were going really well with the economy, the stock market, etc. Things just weren't adding up. So, I started checking out The Donald on reddit. That started to open my eyes. I became a Pede. I found myself on The Donald more and more. Then, r/The_Donald got banned on reddit. They created thedonald.win so I got on over there. I found myself on thedonald.win more than I was on reddit. At one point on reddit I got gagged in a subreddit I rarely visited for something I said in a different reddit. This was the final straw. Reddit had already gone to shit, first starting when the refugees came over from Digg, and now that. I killed my 11+ year old reddit account.
As to how I became an Anon, check out my comment to the OP in this thread.
I was semi-red pilled after I discovered the truth to 9/11 in 2007, but even after that, I still though the media was half-way relevant (same with Alex Jones). It was the Kavanah hearings that made me realize there was an all out campaign against him, which led me to discover Q. Then I finally realized the whole system is corrupt and needed to be destroyed.
nice post, for me I started the wake up around 2016 election and spent a lot of time on T_D. I noticed all the best posts at the time led back to halfchan where I started reading (a LOT to sift through there) and as I got into it Q popped up as another "insider"-anon. Took with a grain of salt at first but something was different about it. I was all in shortly after when the Nov4 SA posts, GEOTUS SA tweet and then the stringing up of al Waleed all happened within hours. Shit was wild. I have had many moments of frustration along the journey, impatience, etc but I have not once stopped believing in the plan, whatever it may be. It's been a hell of a ride and I think most take for granted how much impact this movement has had on society and spreading of info that was NEVER talked about before in the public square. Cheers
I found Q at the same time as you. Alex Jones woke me up but before that, I feel like I was born with an incredibly sensitive intuition that things were “off” for as long as I can remember. 9-11 galvanized my intuition and I have been following it ever since.
…while the timelines were skewed, my intuition (along with information sourced here), has been incredibly accurate.
One of the strongest intuitive moments of recent memory is sitting in McDonalds with my 85 year old mother and laughing about how bizarre and crazy Trump could be, but that he amused me and I was glad I voted for him. (Early on I was a Scott Walker girl, and then later I think a Ben Carson girl.) This was right after he was elected and if I had to guess, probably February 2017 ish. And then all of the sudden I had the weirdest epiphany and said, "It is going to get really really crazy for awhile. Like roller coaster crazy. But in the end everything is not just going to be okay, it's going to be so much better." I wish I could describe how strong the intuitive feeling was that came over me. I just knew it.
I was spending all my time on the original r/T_D, and President Trump General threads on /pol. I don't remember exactly which drop convinced me, but it was early on.
Only two for me but......... Wow..........do I respect those long term guys. Wow !!!
i have no idea, when i begun, and i have to confess when that covid thing begun i wnet along to a point, less than most i hope, but when the "vacines" begun its thanks to q i didn't took it, forever gratefull for that insight, compared to the frogs here i am not even remotely capable, and still have much i don't know. Still, i am glad to be here. and i am glad to have a place to check the news media of its lies. Also glad fo the "conspiracy theores" you lot spread, around here it has a different meaning that term. It means : good researcher
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. - Socrates
I just remember seeing and hearing about this "Q" thing/person(s). And wondering what it was. Can't remember the exact moment, but sometime in late 2018.
Not that long into 2016 after the MSM and the majority of Democrats began calling on Trump to be impeached when they had zero proof he had or hadn’t done anything yet. I was listening to “John Talks” on YouTube discuss WTF the media was trying to tie together, when a random person on the live chat said to another, “Q is real. Have you ever seen JFK’s grave from the air?”. I backed it up a bit and they had just started talking about this Q thing. So I looked it up, and sure enough it’s a Q.
Being a Social Worker turned Policy Analyst, I began a 2-3 month research and dive around the edges of the rabbit hole. And learning about and listening to X22Report, Brad Barton, David Nino, and a month of study of Game and String Theories to understand Juan O’Savin….because something about his info/Intel was always ahead of and in a more difficultly detailed line with Dave at X22. Juan’s on-point Biblical knowledge was also well beyond any preacher or priest I had ever heard. And Dave at X22, whom quoted Q frequently brought me to the Q-Drops.
This in turn brought me to GAW, which in an unparalleled personal epiphany, even divine I think, I wrote my theory on Whom is at the center of Q Himself. About a day or 2 after I posted the first draft of my theory on GAW, I was emailed and asked to become a GAW Moderator.
And here I’ve been on GAW since, honored to learn and teach with each of you World-Wide Anons. Honored in the deepest sense of gratitude. Besides the Shill’s and Glowies, I firmly understand and believe Where We Go One We Go All, together with God.
